For Breastfeeding Consults:

It is strongly advised to have seen an IBCLC in the community prior to requesting our services. If it is medically indicated after this, a referral from an MD for both Mom and Infant is required and we are more than pleased to assess the dyad.

If you are an IBCLC in the community, you could fill in most of the referral form and have the patient bring it to their FP visit to further assist in the referral process.
